Black Canary – A guide to Black Canaries

Context

We don’t have so many Black Canary entries that a disambiguation page is necessary. But :

I’d like to add more.

Readers who do not realise that the character dates back to the the 1940s might be confused.

Therefore, here are the Black Canary profiles on writeups.org and what they do.

The chronological song

This series of profile uses the emergent history method. For instance, the 1947/48 version of Black Canary only uses material from 1947 and 1948. The 1960s profile only uses material from the 1960s. Etc..

This is because there have been many takes on the Black Canary concept. Rather than present a “smudged together” view of these, we present each take in detail.

Which also means that reading the profiles in order will show you exactly how the *idea* of Black Canary evolves.

Black Canary then vanishes until 1962. Once we have a profile for the Silver Age Black Canary it’ll go there !

The gisted notes. Our earliest notes about BC. Now very dated and we don’t really want people to read them. We keep them around because there are useful pictures, stats, etc.. But the endgame is to fully replace these with a series of clear and excellent chronological profiles.

Rock star Black Canary. A very specific version by two specific authors (Wu and Fletcher), seen during the mid-2010s. 2010s DC Comics continuity was a hot mess, so we have to do thin “slices” so characters profile are clear.
